Cataract Care Services

Cataracts are a natural part of aging, and almost everyone will develop them at
some point. They occur when the lens in your eye becomes cloudy from natural proteins
that build up over time. As the condition progresses, it affects your vision.

Cataract treatment varies depending on how severe the condition is. If you
have mild cataracts, you may just need a new eyeglass prescription. More severe cases
often require surgery
to remove the cataracts and restore your vision.

Ophthalmologists in the Sutter Health network are recognized, highly trained leaders
in the field of cataract surgery. Using the latest technology procedures, including
phacoemulsification, doctors use a small suture-less incision to remove the lens and
replace it with foldable intraocular lenses for a fast, full recovery.

Our surgical team uses only state-of-the-art equipment and has access to the latest
technology, including intraoperative aberrometry, image-guided cataract surgery and
femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery. We offer a full range of next-generation
intraocular lenses for the implants, such as “toric” implants that correct
astigmatism and multifocal and accommodative implants that assist with near-vision
(presbyopia).
